A collection of goodies that can be used with Tastypie.

Tastypie Crust

Your Tastypie just become even tastier.

Rationale

This package is really just a collection of snippets I use constantly with Tastypie across multiple projects. They are reused so much it just makes more sense to collect them together than copy-pasting codes everywhere.

None of the snippets in this package originate from myself. The idea of "resource actions", in particular, came from tastypie-actions by Justin Alexander (aka thelonecabbage on GitHub), although I re-implemented the details quite a bit. Some other utilities are mostly collected from snippets floating around the Internet (StackOverflow, djangosnippets.org, etc.).

Components

Resources

class ActionResourceMixin

Resources subclassing this mixin can have methods decorated with action, making those methods accessible throught Tastypie API.

action(name=None, url=None, static=False,
       allowed=None, login_required=False, throttled=False)

Decorator that makes extra resource methods accessible through Tastypie API.

Authentication

class AnonymousAuthentication

Authentication policy that only allows certain request methods go through anonymously.

Example

Some example usages can be found inside testproj/testapp/resources.py.
